This paper is concerned with the construction of extremal elliptic K3 surfaces. It gives a complete treatment of those fibrations which can be derived from rational elliptic surfaces by easy manipulations of their Weierstrass equations. In particular, this approach enables us to find explicit equations for 38 semi-stable extremal elliptic K3 fibrations, 32 of which are indeed defined over the rationals. They are realized as pull-back of non-semi-stable extremal rational elliptic surfaces via...

Based on multi-dimensional, multi-group, flux-limited-diffusion hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae with the VULCAN/2D code, we study the physical conditions within and in the vicinity of the nascent protoneutron star (PNS). Our numerical study follows the evolution of the collapsing envelope of the 11-Msun model of Woosley & Weaver, from ~200 ms before bounce to ~300ms after bounce, on a spatial grid that switches from Cartesian at the PNS center to spherical above a 10km...

Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (POSS) are nanoparticles that are used to enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of many polymeric systems. Starting in 1993, there has been extensive research in understanding how POSS affects these properties. Certain POSS macromers can be copolymerized with organic monomers to form nanocomposite type materials. A model is emerging for how addition-polymerized POSS copolymers can undergo a type of self-assembly to form a nanocomposite. The R-group...

What one, single word best describes leadership? In this episode, I report on feedback I received when I asked several people to respond to that question. Recently, I sent out an email message to a few hundred of my contacts, and I asked: What one word, in your opinion, best describes the notion of leadership? In other words, if you had to boil down leadership into just one word, what would that be? The responses were intriguing. Here are the first ones I received...and which are reported in...

We study the encounters between stars clusters and giant molecular clouds (GMCs). The effect of these encounters has previously been studied analytically for two cases: 1) head-on encounters, for which the cluster moves through the centre of the GMC and 2) distant encounters, where the encounter distance p > 3*R_n, with p the encounter parameter and R_n the radius of the GMC. We introduce an expression for the energy gain of the cluster due to GMC encounters valid for all values of p and...

The effect of geometric scaling on the performance of metal-insulator metal-ensemble (MIME) chemiresistors based on gold nanoclusters is investigated. The ultrasmall size of the nanoclusters is shown to enable extreme scaling of the sensors with reductions in area of at least a factor of 104 over conventional MIME devices. If the operating voltage is held constant, the absolute sensitivity of the devices is found to remain essentially unchanged by the geometric scaling. Interestingly, this...

a great conversation between Susan Minsos, author of Weird Tit-for-Tat: the game of our lives and Culture Clubs: the art of living together, and Bob Chelmick, one of Alberta's best-known broadcasters and also a great photographer. Their conversation is a great introduction to Susan Minsos' work, which will make you rethink your assumptions about how we all interact with one another.

Railguns involve both static and sliding electrical contacts, which must transmit the large transient electrical currents necessary to impart high forces onto a projectile for acceleration to hypervelocity. Static electrical contacts between metals initially take place through small asperities, or a-spots, distributed over the contact area. The voltage developed across the interface is directly related to the contact temperature and pressure, the number of a-spots, the thermophysical and...

The Energy Systems Institute is currently performing pulsed-power flashover research on thin films arranged in various geometries. Currently the research is focused on the power transfer characteristics of the film, which consists of a polypropylene layer with a thin aluminum coating on it. It is also known that the surface arcing that occurs when an appropriate electrical pulse is applied to the film is affected by the presence of magnetic and electric fields. By arranging the film in various...

We determine the masses and magnitude difference of the components of the Hyades spectroscopic binary theta(2) Tauri. We find that both components appear to be less massive and/or brighter than predicted from some recent evolutionary models. The rapid rotation and unknown rotational inclination of both components introduce uncertainty in their luminosities and colors, but not enough to reconcile both of them with the evolutionary models. We measured the visual orbit with the Mark III optical...

Following surgery or radiation of primary early-stage prostate cancer (PrCA), one in three patients will experience an elevation in serum prostate antigen (PSA) within 10 years. This rises to one in two at 15 years. After such evidence of recurrence, the most common treatment is androgen ablation. We hypothesize that the host-PrCA balance in asymptomatic men with biochemically recurrent PrCA, as reflected by the PSA rise, is favorably affected by an intensive, vegetable-based diet, plus...

Epidemiological observations indicate that breast cancer risk is lower in visually impaired women compared to sighted women and that risk is inversely correlated with degree of visual impairment. A hypothesis to explain these findings is that blind people are less susceptible to suppression of melatonin by light exposure at night and therefore have higher levels of melatonin. Melatonin has oncostatic properties in vitro. In a survey of 12,000 blind women, we will test the hypothesis that 1) the...
